RECREATION

Hiking

Enjoy the beauty and serenity of the mountains by taking a hike either on the resort or a short distance away.

Feel free to hike our horse trails or have Adventure Outfitters direct you to nearby hiking trails, hikes to water falls, riverbanks or an adventurous excursion to Meadow Creek Mountain Fire Tower with amazing views of the North Carolina Mountains and Tennessee’s Mountains and Rolling Hills.

Horse rentals

We work with a Trail Guide who can take you out on the trails for a horse ride. This is for beginner to experienced riders. Lessons are also available.

Reservations are required. The fee is $25 per hour per horse.

Rafting

We’ll reserve your whitewater rafting adventure and provide directions to our recommended outfitters on the French Broad River in hot Springs, NC or on the Pigeon River in Hartford, TN – both approximately a 30 minute drive where an experienced guide will take you and your family or friends on an exciting adventure.
